Respect Lyrics by Old Wharf

Reside (Deluxe Edition)

2019

I'm not a prophet, I'm not a preacher
There's just some things I wanna get off my chest
We may be young, but we want a future
Don't judge a book by what you see on the cover
Sick of hearing you say that we're wrong
Tired of being the same as everyone
Life lessons we'll learn the hard way
While you're waiting for a god to show up
We are the dismantled youth sewn together with no love in our bones
We're not a generation lost, we're just waiting to be found
Your words are fictitious to me
Your morals aren't speaking to me
Your opinion means nothing to me
Your values are haunting to me
You mean nothing to me
Stuck in a loop on a path they pave
Hopes and plans in a shallow grave
No matter what we do, who we turn to
Fuck me and you 'cause we can't be saved
We're seeing through your bullshit lies
Don't think you can recognise
When you're stood there saying the same old shit
Maybe one day we ain't gonna fall for it
Who the fuck do you think you are?
I didn't need you to get this far
So don't you try and speak down to me
Move away and dictate your own life
You talk about demanding respect
How about you start showing me some fucking respect, bitch
R-E-S-P-E-C-T means something different to you and me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, your words don't mean shit to me
